Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – May Edition 🗞️

Hello! Welcome to the May edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. This month is all about Animal Reiki, a non-invasive and complementary healing practice to promote well-being and good health for your pets.

You’ve probably heard of Reiki, it’s been around since the last century. Reiki is the combination of two Japanese words: rei “spirit” and ki, ” life energy.”

I’m always interested in different ways to help animals. And I’m excited to learn more about animal Reiki.

And since I wore my “I’m-still-a-researcher-at-heart” hat for this edition, you’ll find more useful links about Reiki.

To help us understand, I interviewed Dr. Patricia Lynn Mason, a wonderful teacher and practitioner of Reiki. Patti shared her 18-year journey practicing the art of well-being.

Enjoy!

Prevent Animal Cruelty and Keep Pets Safe at Easter 🐰 🥚

April is a good time to celebrate our pet friends. Spring is finally here! If you’ve been indoors too long, it’s time to get outside. Enjoy a long walk with your favorite pet and shake off the winter doldrums.

The ASPCA reminds us that April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month.

Delightful Pet Menagerie Newsletter – March Edition 🗞️

Hello! Welcome to the March edition of Dr. Pet Mom’s Delightful Pet Menagerie (DPM) Newsletter. Spring is here! And it’s a great time to find new hobbies and new adventures. I’m interested in pet fish and reached out to a pet fish hobbyist.

I interviewed fish hobbyist, Camille Bates. She works for the Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS). Their motto is “Where all roads lead home…”

MARS serves pets and pet parents to find homes for lost, forgotten or abandoned animals. MARS rescues at-risk dogs and cats who are homeless through no fault of their own.

Pet Diseases: How You Can Keep Your Pet Healthy 😷

We’re in the middle of the winter and the flu season. Flu is preventable if we avoid contact with sick people, avoid touching our mouth, nose and eyes, and wash our hands with soap and water.

As a pet parent, you can also prevent disease in your family pet. Pet diabetes, dental disease, and obesity are preventable. How can you keep your pet healthy all year?

February Pet Awareness Days 🗓️

February is a month right in the heart of winter. This month we’re celebrating how to train your dog, dental health for pets, and responsible pet ownership.

February is generally the month for the Westminster Kennel Club Annual Dog Show. In 2023, the show moved to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York. The event runs from May 8 and 9.

Another cool thing about the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is that each breed has an associated rescue group. Be there in person if you can, but the event will also be televised.
